himawaripy/confif.py output_file = os.path.join(appdirs.user_cache_dir(appname="himawaripy", appauthor=False), time.ctime() ) ^^^^^^^^^^^ this will store everyday's pic....and will take huge space....but,we just need one days loop....

himawaripy is to fetch (almost) real-time picture of Earth, not to cycle old images of it, although that's also understandable.

You can save the photos as you said in a directory and then loop over them to change wallpaper in every 10 minutes. KDE supports this out-of-the-box I think, but you can always write a script.

Closing the issue as it's not relevant to himawaripy.
